UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

[SeattleLionsFan]

TomVH said it was only 260 yards on 12 carries because a 91 yarder got called back. On the plus side, he had 5 TDs(!!) in those 12 carries.

Who was the opposing team? Was it the Washington Generals?

[WM Wolverine]

Recruits (un-committed) for the game:

*McDowell & Hand from '14 plus a lot of commits...

*'15: Tim Settle DT, Alabi OL, Hilliard LB, Weber RB, Thompson SS/WLB, Jenkins OL, Cornell DE, Edwards ATH/QB & Burrell OL...

Just as big of a basketball recruiting weekend with the early signing period in November.

[Rocky Bleier]

No Brian Cole?

[WM Wolverine]

Not an official visit. Some guys have Saturday games, he might be one.

[WM Wolverine]

More will be added to that list btw, Brian Cole currently is listed as a maybe.

He's from Saginaw, why can't he make it?

[WM Wolverine]

M might not add another receiver to the '15 class, I don't know why exactly.

[Rocky Bleier]

Doesn't Cole want to play CB?

[WM Wolverine]

Cole IS visiting and yes, Cole has mentioned he likes playing CB. Not sure where M is recruiting him for. With two DB's already committed for '15 and an 'elite' WR, he'd be a #2 receiver or the #3 DB. Neither of which are high priorities in a very small recruiting class.

[The Oracle]

Well, we don't need a lot of OL or DL or LB, many of which usually take up a lot of numbers.

[Rob F]

Well, we don't need a lot of OL or DL or LB, many of which usually take up a lot of numbers.

If we only end up with 2 OL in 2014 (as looks likely), then we better get 3 or 4 in '15, IMO. Anything less and we're rolling the dice against the odds of kids not panning out and attrition.

With both the '14 and '15 classes being relatively small, I think we're gonna need some good fortune when it comes to signing preferred walk-ons.

Does this also mean we'll be able to sign a full class again finally in '16?

[WM Wolverine]

M imo needs 3 in '15 after only 2 in '14; once those 6 from '13 graduate M could be a rough position at OL unless nearly everyone pans out from '14 - '16.

[Hannibal]

Receiver is still somewhat of a priority in '15. Not numbers, necessarily, but we could use one more blue chipper.

If there is any chance that Cole would be interested in playing for MSU or OSU, then we need to figure out a way to make room for him.

[iam416]

From the small amount I've read about Cole, he's likely to stay in state. So, there you go. He's on OSU's radar and they'll try to make their play for him, but I really doubt he leaves Michigan.
